Abraham Lincoln gold dollar coin value
It’s important to clarify the term “Abraham Lincoln gold dollar coin” as there are a couple of different types of coins that could fit that description, and their values vary greatly:
These are circulating commemorative coins featuring Abraham Lincoln, [according to Numista] . They have a golden appearance because they are minted from a manganese-brass alloy, not actual gold.
- Value: Most are worth around face value ($1) or slightly more in uncirculated condition.
- Errors: Some errors, like a missing edge lettering, can significantly increase the value, potentially fetching hundreds or even thousands of dollars. A 2010 D Abraham Lincoln Presidential Dollar with upside-down edge lettering recently sold for $17.76 on eBay.
These are genuine gold coins minted in 1865.
- Value: The value of these coins depends heavily on their condition (grade).
– Circulated condition: Worth between $375 and $1800, [according to the NGC Price Guide].
– Uncirculated condition: Can sell for as much as $90,000.
- Note: It’s unlikely to find an 1865 gold dollar with Abraham Lincoln’s portrait because, at that time, coins rarely featured living presidents.
- If you have a 2010 Presidential Dollar coin: It’s likely worth around $1, unless it has a rare error, which could make it worth considerably more. You can check for errors like missing edge lettering.
- If you have an 1865 Gold Dollar coin: This is a valuable coin, with its worth determined by its grade. These do not depict Abraham Lincoln.
It’s always recommended to consult with a qualified coin dealer or use resources like the [NGC Price Guide] or PCGS website to accurately identify and assess the value of your coin.
